[**cookiedough**(1)](https://fossil.include-once.org/cookiedough/file/manpage/cookiedough.md)
is a GUI browser for [cookiecutter](https://pypi.org/project/cookiecutter/) templates. And can of course extract them.
It comes with a database of around 2300 cookietemplates, grouped by category, and allows some
rudimentary filtering. Very **early alpha**, but usable.
# Installation / Use
Just install it as normal pip package:
~$ pip3 install -U cookiedough
And start it from a terminal window:
~/projects$ cookiedough
Keep an eye on the terminal when rolling out a template. Not all prompts
might be captured by monkeypatching.
# Notes
There's some usage information in the man page, and in the →Help→Help.
## Bugs / Caveats
* No support for template dictionary variables. (They're not widely used though.)
* Replay support isn't enabled yet.
* Database does not contain any directoried templates yet. (A few do exist.)
* The README colorization is fairly basic. (But more processsing would
slow it down too much.)
* It can crash when speed-scrolling through the templates. (Perhaps PSG
vs Tk threads issue.)
* Tkinter might also crash when encountering emojis. (Either install
Symbola font and get rid of Noto Color Emoji. Or upgrade to tcl/tk
8.6.10, or go back to Ubuntu 18.04 where it miraculously worked.)
